One of the rarest guns we have ever offered. A double barrel, 
muzzle loading shotgun, with four hammers and two triggers, that 
fires four charges from two barrels. This gun is loaded, one charge 
above the other, as in the Lindsey musket. The first pull of the 
front trigger releases the forward right-hand hammer. A second 
pull of the same trigger releases the right-hand back hammer. The 
back trigger operates the left-hand lock in a similar way. Apart 
from its rarity of mechanism this is a beautiful gun in wonderful 
condition, with Damascus barrels and case hardened locks, check- 
ered walnut stock with unique patch box, the lid of which forms 
the butt-plate, and is opened by touching a concealed spring.
